Any advice on how to replace nylon tuning nut on MSA classic

Post by Ron Fox »

Trying to adjust LKR the tuning nut seems stripped and won't adjust. I think I over tightened it, the nylon disintegrated. Any advice out there before I bring it in.
Hate to be without it for weeks.
Thanks

If it's the type with the hole all the way through, try turning it around and threading it from the other end. If that doesn't work well enough, swap it out for one that doesn't get used as much, until you can get a replacement.
